Etiquette Of the New sou,h.

New York Tribune: A oorrespon-
dent OF the st. Louis Globe. Democrat
has been making q study Of the question
of social equality in Georgia with some
o~arions results. To invite a negro to
take q seat is to confer social equality
upon him. Likewise ii he is allowed TO
sit upon the floor in church; he must sit
in the gallery. The white teacher in tie
university must not sit at the head OF
the Students table, and yet southern
men will sit down with the colored
people at their marriage tsssts.
In the shops you must wait
your turn II O negro customer
is being waited on, and the street cars
are used ns freely by the blacks as the
whites. But a coiored girl will be put
off a railroad tram by brute force if sbe
refuses to go into the (smokinR) Car set
apart for hsr race. A colored man can
hire q store anywhere in Atlshta, for
| example, but be can hire o house only
in certain quarters. In the directory
the numbers where oolortd people live
are marked with q 10" AT an auction
sale of property in 6 white locality the
auctiOneer will ignore the bid OF a negro.
To teach o colored school is the worst

The real reason, 1t is said, why theteach-
ers of the Atlanta and CLARK UNIVERSE
ties keep their children in
their own classes is that the Sins OF their
parents would be visited upon them il
they went to the white schools. This
feeling is said to be more bitter than it
was twenty years ago, and more common

orable consideration, as there are many
fertile valleys yet unsurveyed, and bona
dde settlers are almost daily petitioning
for suryeys. There is evidence accum-
nlating,n continues ths report, that the
survey Of a large block of land surveyed
Under the deposit system for the Allan
tic and Pacific railroad has been care
lessly done IL not criminally i~nssigated.
1t has been ~notoriously commented upon
by settlers on this tract during the past
year, that the watering places are almost.
entirely on the railroad sections.
nthis is the case, they were placed
there by a system of illegal contraction
or expansion by the deputies, Many of
these lands are reported to nave been sold
or contracted for by the railroad authori-
ties, SO that a large share OF them are
now held by what the law would class as
innocent purchases, when in fact ii the
skin was scratched in would probably be
found that stockholders, directors, or
theis zsneetal friends were under the
puneture. Large cattle companies are
now In the possession Of these lands. In
cludingegoyernment lands and there is a
mysterious whispering as TO the corpo-
rators and owners of the stock incident
to corporations of this magnitude.
In reference to the material resources
OF the territory the report says that Arf-
iona will take high rank among the bull
lion producers of this country.
